 #. DPDK PERFORMANCE TESTS
 
    - **Intel Xeon 2n-skx, 3n-skx and 2n-clx testbeds**: Testpmd and
-     L3fwd test data is not included in this report version. This is
-     due to performance and behaviour inconsistency following the
-     upgrade to the latest Ubuntu 18.04 LTS kernel version
-     (4.15.0-72-generic) and associated microcode packages (skx ucode
-     0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c). Test data will be added in
-     subsequent maintenance report version(s) once the issue is
-     resolved. See :ref:`dpdk_known_issues`.
+     L3fwd performance test data is not included in this report
+     version. This is due to the lower performance and behaviour
+     inconsistency of these systems following the upgrade of processor
+     microcode packages (skx ucode 0x2000064, clx ucode 0x500002c) as

    - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added new NF density tests with
      IPsec encryption between DUTs.
